I am quite new to this site and I just wanted to let you guys know how much I have been enjoying it. This is my first time joining any type of online forum and it has been a joy. I will confess that I did lurk around for two weeks watching just to make sure people were nice and I have been very impressed with the members. This is such a nice online community! I just wanted to add a nice thank you.

My profile tells me I signed up in March 2012, but it was the recent release of the movie that lured me into the discussions in December. I entirely agree with Eowyn3, this is a fun, friendly place to talk Tolkien.

TORn is an oasis of civility in an internet full of name-calling and shrieking. We owe so much to the vigilance and intervention of our mods for keeping this a great place! Trolls turn to stone quickly here.
